Package: kmail
Version: 1.4.1 (using KDE 3.0.1 )
Severity: wishlist
Installed from:    Mandrake Linux Cooker i586 - Cooker
Compiler:          gcc version 2.96 20000731 (Mandrake Linux 8.0 2.96-0.64mdk)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.4.3-20mdk
OS/Compiler notes: 

Many of Kmail's keyboard shortcuts consist of a single key, with no modifier key \
(Ctrl or Alt).

When I start kmail, then type into another window, kmail can popup, grab focus, and I \
can accidentally do things in kmail without knowing what I have done, This could even \
include deleting emails (with the 'D' keyboard shortcut).

I think that for usability, it would be better if default keyboard shortcuts used the \
Ctrl modifier - except for keys like "home", "end", "pageup", "pagedown", "delete".
